O.P. Windows Live Messenger/MSN slow to show unseen chat messages
Hey guys, I've got a Windows 7 64-bit edition on a Quad Core, and also have Windows XP installed. On XP, everything runs fine, but if I use Messenger on Win7, there's a slight problem.
If I have 2 chats open in tabs (using Plus!), then if someone says something in one chatbox and I switch to see it, it appears as if the moment I switched, the person just sent the message, no matter how old the message may be. However, once I've seen the message and I switch to another chat or program window and come back to it, it's fine. It only happens when I have multiple chat tabs and messenger alerts me of unseen messages. It works fine if I only have a single person's window open (i.e. no tabs). I haven't tried switching tabs off, I suspect it will work but I'll check and report back. This also reminds me, I've noticed that if I type fast, then the letters appearing onscreen are SLIGHTLY sluggish. It's barely noticeable, but it's there. I noticed especially when I erased and replaced the character with a new one.
On XP everything runs fine.
I'm using
Windows Live Messenger 2009
Messenger Plus! 5
Thanks!
